The before images see Amba’s lacklustre kitchen, which was made up of pine cupboards and an unremarkable wooden countertop.

But in less than a day her space has had a chic modern makeover with the after photos displaying sleek white cabinets and a marble effect work top.

Amba explained that she had purchased marble effect Fablon costing just £6.50 a roll and a gloss paint at £18 to achieve her dream kitchen.

She said that she had actually been inspired by another group member when it came to her DIY task.

Captioning the photos she wrote: “Moving in to my new place this week and hated the kitchen I see a post on here yesterday that was amazing about revamping the kitchen for around 45 pound so today I took myself to B&Q and revamped my kitchen!

“I’m so in love. Thank you to whoever posted yesterday you have saved me a fortune.”
